Half the time, you don't even need the slave cyl extension rod. It is just making up for other things you have a problem with.
Oh, and $24.00 for a slave extension rod is like paying $20.00 for a bottle of Coke.

Yeah, I might get one of those and just have it just in case; I am guessing that it may help with the higher rated Pressure Plate and Pedal Travel Adjustment in some instances?

Can't do that until I do the job, as the Flywheel is in the car. I will have access to a lift & tools, but not necessarily the means to get the Flywheel IMMEDIATELY & PROPERLY resurfaced. I wanna have a PROPERLY resurfaced Flywheel ready to go, if at all possible (And than, I can resurface the old one, at my leisure, for the next time). Don't have the option of leaving my car & coming back.

Yeah, may not need it, but I will let you know, one way or the other.

As for the FLYWHEEL:
Having a hard time finding a Stock(OEM) Flywheel. Looking everywhere, even called Mitsubishi.
Looks like alot of you guys are installing Aftermarket/Light-Weight Flywheels & that sounds great to me. Only thing is, I have no experience with knowing how the Aftermarket/Lightweight Flywheels feel while driving & what the difference is. I do, however, know what the stock one felt like when I first got the car & the ClutchMaster 2500 was still good. Was pretty awesome! Also, most of the information that I am seeing about aftermarkets has been "cons". Is there a good website/link for me to check out the pros & cons of Aftermarket/Lightweight Flywheels?

And, Anyone know where I can get an extra Stock(OEM) Flywheel and/or who has a good price for the ACT2600(XTSS 95-99 variety)?

Make sure to use an OEM TOB, not an ACT

Thanks, That's the kinda stuff that's good to know!
However, Are you referring to the fact that the ACT TOBs used to be metallic?
Because I read somewhere that they have changed to Plastic & may be holding up good.

Still looking for good website/link to check out the pros & cons of Aftermarket/Lightweight Flywheels. All I can find when I do searches, is bad things that have happened with Fidanza Flywheels.

Ok,
I just got off the phone with Slowboy Racing, and ordered the following stuff:

ACT 2600 Eclipse turbo clutch kit - ACT MB1XTSS
Throwout Bearing MD749998 (OEM)
Throwout Bearing Retainer Clip - MD 706185 (OEM)
Clutch fulcrum-pivot ball MD719602 (OEM)
7 bolt flywheel bolts, MD302074 (OEM)
Pilot bearing - ACT PB1001
MITSU Clutch Alignment tool

(Total for the above SBR Order was only $559 after shipping!)

Than, from Advance Auto, I have the following ready to go for the job:

Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal
Thread Locking Compound
Tranny Fluid
Front CV Shafts (2)
Front Bearing Hub Assy (2)
Drive Axle Oil Seals (2)

And, earlier today, I ordered an extra Stock Flywheel, from Standard Flywheels. (Resurfaced and ready to go, so if the old one is good, I will just save it for the next time & have it resurfaced ahead of time as well.)
($99.95 after shipping!)
By the way guys, this is the only place that I could find it this cheap! (Mitsubishi wanted $279 for a brand new one, shipped from California.)

You may notice that there is a little extra material up above, that may or may not be needed. I wanna be ready for whatever I may find while taking it all apart.

I will think it over good, but I think the above list is pretty good for the job.

Plan to do the job on February 21st (Saturday) and I will take pictures & let you all know how it turns out.

Thanks to everyone for their advice & input.

Just lots of em, make sure everything is covered. A clutch install will be a good contribution to the site.

Just an update:
Clutch Install was a success.
I really appreciate all of the advice that you all have offered and I AM currently working on a write-up. Please be patient. A little longer and dare I say, it will be worth the wait.

In the meantime, I noticed what looks to be a great deal for a Speed Sensor, on Ebay (cuurrent price is $1.04), with only 2 days left:

eBay Motors: Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Speed Sensor 95 96 97 98 99 2g (item 280318943227 end time Mar-08-09 15:14:07 PDT)

Thanks for your patience.

Ok,
I know it has been an insane amount of time. I have been really busy.
I finally did the 97 GST Clutch Write-Up & here it is:

* RedHorse's Eclipse GST Clutch Replacement Guide *

Hope it helps someone out.
